pos OPK for 4 or 5 days in a row

What does it mean when your OPK continues to be positive for 5 days in a row? I've had this happen on many cycles and I'm wondering if it's a problem. I'm following the package directions exactly and I'm getting concerned as this is our 10th cycle with no luck. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I haven't been checked for it but I don't have any other symtpoms of it either...something to think about.

Today is the 6th day of a pos test however this morning I did a different brand test with the same urine sample and it was very clearly negative. So I'm thinking maybe the tests I bought are just really senstive? I dunno...

The kind that kept showing up positive were CVS brand and the one that was clearly negative was an internet cheapie left over from my friend. Today however the CVS brand was finally negative! So weird... Oh well, on to my TWW!

Yes I've used the Answer brand for one month. They are very similar to the CVS brand, they come in a tube etc... I found those to be less sensitive than the CVS ones. I think I only got a pos OPK 2 days that month? I can't fully remember but with the generic ones from CVS positive for 6 days in a row! I did a little research online and the ladies who posted on other forums seem to think it's perfectly okay to have pos OPKs for up to a week. and Perhas if you continue to get them then you are PG! If you START your cycle with pos OPKs then that is something to have checked out but if you start getting your pos OPKs around the time you should ovulate and just continue to get them, it just means your body has a lengthy LH surge and your egg could be taking it's sweet time to come out, so keep BDing!!! Best of luck to you and lots of baby dust!Marisa

This has happened to me 2 months in a row. I've gotten 6 days of positive OPKs each month. I use the FRERs. This month I've added temping to the equation and have found that I ovulated on the second day of positives. So I continued to have positive OPKs for an additional 4 days after O and my CM was dry on those 4 days as well. I have no idea what this means either but I am now confident that I am in fact ovulating. You might try temping next month to make sure that you are ovulating.

I didn't know FRER made OPKs too, neat! I have done temping for most of my 10 months but decided to stop since it clearly showed a thermal shift each month about the same as you, day 2 of pos OPKs and then I would continue to get pos for a few more days and usually my CM would become creamy. I decided to stop temping since it's just such a pain and I get overly obsessive about it to the point of waking up multiple times in the night and taking my temp. LOL So I stopped after a few months of good biphasic temp charts. My cycles have been pretty "normal" 27-31 days long and Oing right around day 15 or 16. I was just really puzzled by the long string of pos OPKs but it should be okay from what I've been hearing. Thanks for the input and baby dust to you!!Marisa
